NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March 20, 2024, the Trust announced a
2-for-1
forward split of the shares of beneficial interest of ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures (ticker symbol: SVXY) and ProShares UltraShort Bloomberg Natural Gas (ticker symbol: KOLD) and a
1-for-5
reverse split of the shares of beneficial interest of ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures (ticker symbol: UVXY). The splits were effective prior to market open on April 11, 2024, when the funds began trading at its post-split price. The splits were applied retroactively for all periods presented, reducing (increasing) the number of shares outstanding and resulted in a proportionate increase (decrease) in the price per share and the per share information of the fund. Therefore, the splits did not change the aggregate net asset value of a shareholder’s investment at the time of the splits.
For SVXY and KOLD shareholders who hold a quantity of shares that is not an exact multiple of the Forward Split ratio (i.e., not a multiple of 2), the Forward Split will result in the creation of a fractional share. Post-Forward Split fractional shares will be redeemed for cash and sent to the shareholder’s broker of record. This redemption may cause some shareholders to realize gains or losses, which could be a taxable event for those shareholders.
For UVXY shareholders who hold a quantity of shares that is not an exact multiple of the Reverse Split ratio (i.e., not a multiple of 5), the Reverse Split will result in the creation of a fractional share. Post-Reverse Split fractional shares will be redeemed for cash and sent to the shareholder’s broker of record. This redemption may cause some shareholders to realize gains or losses, which could be a taxable event for those shareholders.
